Triangle Pose

Barley, a dog, pushes herself up from a sploot with her front paws, but remains at the midway point, with her feet still sticking out behind her.

If Barley it tired and rises from a sploot, she sometimes gets about halfway and just rests in this position for a bit while she waits to see what happens. Is there a reason to become more wakeful? Or perhaps an opportunity has arisen to snuggle up with someone before going back to sleep? This is the posture of a dog who is present and attentive, but could fall asleep again in less than 30 seconds if she needed to.
